TLDR Learn about the role of probiotics, vitamin D, and selenium in managing autoimmune conditions by balancing the immune system and reducing inflammation.

Key insights

  • ⚖️ Imbalance in immune system with low regulatory T-cells and high levels of other immune cells.
  • 🛡️ Regulatory T-cells prevent autoimmune diseases by calming down inflammation.
  • 🌱 The best probiotic helps balance the immune system and reduce inflammation naturally.
  • 🔆 Vitamin D influences over 2500 genes and is crucial for the immune system.
  • 💊 Higher levels of vitamin D intake (20,000-50,000 IU) may be necessary to address resistance and create a therapeutic effect.
  • 🦠 B. infantis and A. rudai are crucial for preventing autoimmune diseases and supporting the immune system.
  • 🍃 Vitamin D, reestablishing missing microbes, and selenium are essential for immune health.
  • ⏳ Combined effects of selenium and prolonged fasting can help manage autoimmune conditions.

Q&A

  • How can selenium and prolonged fasting help manage autoimmune diseases?

    Selenium can help lower inflammatory cells and antibodies, while prolonged fasting can increase t-reg cells and improve the immune system, thereby aiding in the management of autoimmune conditions.

  • What are the essentials for immune health?

    White blood cells, cortisol, Vitamin D, missing microbes reestablishment, and selenium are essential factors for immune health

  • What is the significance of B. infantis and A. rudai in gut health?

    B. infantis and A. rudai play a crucial role in preventing autoimmune diseases and supporting the immune system. However, many people are missing these important microbes due to their sensitivity to various factors.

  • Why is vitamin D crucial for autoimmune diseases?

    Vitamin D is important for maintaining gut health and preventing autoimmune diseases. Concerns about toxicity from vitamin D are rare and require very high daily doses.

  • How does inflammation affect vitamin D3 function?

    Inflammation can block the function of vitamin D3, influencing over 2500 genes. Vitamin D resistance at the cell level can lead to deficiency despite normal blood levels.

  • What is the role of probiotics in autoimmune conditions?

    Probiotics play a role in balancing the immune system by increasing regulatory T-cells and reducing inflammation, which can help in managing autoimmune conditions.

  • 00:00 The best probiotic for autoimmune conditions helps balance the immune system by increasing regulatory T-cells and reducing inflammation. The root problem of autoimmune diseases is inflammation.
  • 01:17 Inflammation blocks the function of vitamin D3, influencing over 2500 genes. Vitamin D resistance at the cell level can lead to deficiency despite normal blood levels.
  • 02:28 Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining gut health and preventing autoimmune diseases. Concerns about toxicity from vitamin D are rare and require very high daily doses. To address vitamin D resistance, higher levels of daily intake (20,000-50,000 IU) may be necessary for a therapeutic effect.
  • 03:44 The gut contains thousands of different microbial species, two of which, B. infantis and A. rudai, play a crucial role in preventing autoimmune diseases and supporting the immune system. However, many people are missing these important microbes due to their sensitivity to various factors.
  • 05:14 White blood cells play a crucial role in the immune system, but cortisol can suppress the immune system. Vitamin D, reestablishing missing microbes, and selenium are essential for immune health.
  • 06:38 Selenium can help lower inflammatory cells and antibodies, while prolonged fasting can increase t-reg cells and improve the immune system. These factors can help manage autoimmune diseases.
